On May 16, 2021, 27-year-old Leeza Martinez was shot and killed inside her home in St. Petersburg, Florida. Officers responded to a reported shooting on the 1200 block of 8th Avenue South around 1:30 p.m.; Martinez was found critically injured, taken to a hospital, and later died. An 18-month-old daughter was in the home at the time and was unharmed; the Florida Department of Children and Families took custody of the child after the shooting.

Police described the incident as domestic-related and arrested 25-year-old Temidayo Ayoola, charging him with second-degree murder. Authorities said Ayoola and Martinez had a tumultuous relationship; he was taken into custody and questioned and prosecutors presented evidence in court to support the murder charge. The community responded with support for the family and renewed attention to domestic violence prevention.

Does anyone have information about Martinez, her daily routine, or the events on May 16, 2021 that could help the ongoing case?
